Grandma's House

A school in southern England had a day off from classes, as a tropical spider came to visit unexpectedly. Seems the little bugger was hidden in a drum which had arrived from Senegal. Now, this is not just your run-of-the-mill spider. This is an African spider which is about the size of your hand. And there may have been more than one. Personally, I wouldn't have needed to see more than one. Spiders terrify me. Anyhoo, the kids got to go home for a day or so, and the school was fumigated. I wouldn't have stopped at the school. I say, fumigate the entire block. Make sure none of them escape!
